WELDING PROCESSES

There are more than 30 types of welding processes, but the most popular are Stick Welding (SMAW), MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas), and TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas).

Which welding process is best for your project? The type of welding process best suited for your specific needs is usually determined by the type of materials we’re trying to join together.

Below is a list of welding processes used at Gorski Welding, and a brief explanation of each.

• GTAW, Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG)

• GMAW, Gas Metal Arc (MIG)

• FCAW, Flux Core Arc (FLUXCORE)

• SMAW, Shielded Metal Arc

• RSW, Resistance Spot Welding

• TB, Torch Brazing

• Orbital Welding/Automated Welding

• Ball Tacking

TB, Torch Brazing

Brazing is a welding process used to join two base pieces of metal together by melting a filler metal into the joint. The filler material has a lower melting point than the adjoining metals.

Brazing produces clean joints with tight tolerances, and it is commonly used to join dissimilar metals together. One disadvantage is that the joint strength is less than other welding processes.

Good for:

Electrical components
Pipe fittings
Metals with uneven thickness
